Diatonic and Chromatic Half Steps
Notes forming a half step may be written in two ways: both notes may be written using the same letter name or
the notes may be written with two consecutive letter names. For example, the half step F to F#may also be
written F to Gb. If the letter names are differentconsecutive letters, the half step is called a diatonichalf step
(di= two). If the letter names are the same, this is called a chromatichalf step (chroma= color).
